Taylor Swift's Letter To Apple Music

Decent Essays
Taylor Swift may be the most liked person amongst her music industry peers, after the singer went up against Apple Music, and walked away victorious. Swift recently penned a letter to Apple Music that "called out" the music streaming company's decision not pay artists, songwriters, and producers during their three-month free trial period for the general public. A day after the singer's open letter made its rounds on the Internet, Apple Music executives suddenly had a change of heart, and they decided to compensate the rightful parties during their free trial. Apple's Tim Cue stated Swift's message was heard loud and clear, "We hear you @TaylorSwift13 and indie artists."

Blur's Alex James is also drinking the "Taylor Swift Kool Aid." After he was asked if he believes Blur would be as popular if they were starting their career today, the bassist stated, "A big one's still a big one in the world like Taylor Swift is bigger than The Beatles. She's bigger than anyone ever if you've got little girls you can't resist The Swift. They're great tunes, she's smoking hot, what's not to like?"

    Jonathan Swifts “ A Modest Proposal”, a story written at the beginning of the 18th century, in a tongue in cheek style, to bring attention to various issues of the day including poverty, overpopulation and the hypocrisy of the Church. The subject on the surface is the proposition of selling human babies as food for profit, eradicating the poor people from the streets and providing a delicacy for the rich. The idea is presented in a very logical, straight forward way, the setting everyday life in Ireland circa 1729, with poor people begging for food or money, being an annoyance to the fine citizens. Swift uses several aspects of literature including vivid imagery of mothers with sad, hopeless eyes holding starving children, these children knowing they have no means of a better future. This may cause the reader to feel great sadness and pity for these people, setting a tone of despair and empathy or an agreement that the poor are a drain on society.…
